The decline of downtown Boston

Now Filene's Basement in downtown Boston is closing temporarily. Filene's Basement is a major draw on Washington Street and its closing could have spillover effects. Maybe the Mayor should spend less time about building skyscrapers and luxury housing that he does about the declining downtown that was once the heart of this city.
